“So here they are, the dog-faced soldiers, the regulars, the fifty-cents-a-day professionals riding the outposts of the nation, from Fort Reno to Fort Apache, from Sheridan to Stark.

But wherever they rode and whatever they fought for, that place became the United States.”
—Frank S. Nugent (1908–1965)
“From now on, if I ever get to burn another newspaper, I’ll remember what a few cents can buy.”
—Alvah Bessie, Ranald MacDougall, and Lester Cole. Raoul Walsh. Captain Nelson (Errol Flynn)
